The Division of Disability Services (DDS) is the designated lead state government agency for brain injury.  As such, the Division administers the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Fund and serves as staff to the Governor's NJ Advisory Council on Traumatic Brain Injury.

The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Fund provides New Jersey residents of any age, who have survived a traumatic brain injury, the opportunity to access the brain injury related services and supports they need to live in the community.

The Fund purchases supports and services to foster independence and maximize quality of life when insurance, personal resources, and/or public programs are unavailable to meet those needs.  A portion of the Fund also is used to support public education, outreach, and prevention activities related to TBI.

Fund recipients must:

• Provide medical documentation of brain injury
• Have liquid assets of less than $100,000
• Be a resident of New Jersey for at least 90 consecutive days
